I follow my heart...
And will continue to do so until the day I die. Typically, it is the best advice I give because the heart is the only unimpressionable beacon you can follow in life. Living and dying by the decisions made by your heart is the ONLY way to actually l i v e. I’ll admit, following your head, gut or some other body part in situations may be more practical or make more sense but really- what’s in a decision if your heart is not?

The Old World-
My journey has been long and arduous. I have experienced some of the highest highs you can achieve in 23 years accompanied by the lowest of lows. I have stood behind podiums accepting accolades just the same as I have stood behind them to hear a conviction...
I was raised to “never show weakness” and if you’re hurt- “rub a little dirt on it.” Virtually programmed to think this way, some athletes (like me) struggle to find a place in the world after the games end. Those of us having the hardest time are the ones who feel that the game was taken away from them by injury, incident, a coach, etc.

That being said…
I stand to be the model of resiliency. No matter what- nothing will break my unwavering spirit or fundamental toughness.

In a few words- I am confident, honest and outspoken but mainly a huge goofball who loves to make people laugh. I have a golden retriever (Quincy) that is probably the smartest dog you’ll ever meet and she loves meeting new people as much as I do. I grew up the son of a career Navy Officer so I have traveled extensively and actively seek out new experiences everyday.

More Recently-
I was laid off from my first “grown-up job” at a solar consulting firm. I thought Boston was the city for me. I thought working with friends was an ideal environment. I thought helping advertise and market our high priced services & research was my part in an effort to save the world…
Financials and logistics aside- the separation was a blessing. A 10-13 hr work day, everyday is no way to live and I should be thankful that things didn’t work out.

Not sure where I head next. Unclear what job I am best suited for. No idea what I wanna do or how to re-invent myself, again. I have no clue what the upcoming months have in store but I do know that it will be exciting to see where my heart leads me this time around. If my past is any indication of my future then stay tuned to “GB’s World”… you will not be disappointed.
